    111 years? What a lovely shot of the old church. Chances are the church and the belfry have been replaced!!!!

    It says on the gate that it's from 1860
  • derangedlemur said:
    We're also looking west (-ish), so this is the back of the church. The bellcote is on the front, along with some sort of facade.
